Dear Menezes family, We were always proud of Fr Vincent Menezes. As a child I was proud of 3 stalwart young priest - Fe. Freddy Pereira, young Fr. Vincent Menezes and Another Fr. Vincent Rodrigues. They were an inspiration to our parish All of them were true soldiers of Christ in walk and talk Now we pray that fr Vincent and other exemplary priests who have died earlier and now many due to COVID enjoy their heavenly bliss. We pray to almighty that these good priests received their heavenly rewards May their soul RIP.

Fr.Vincent Victor Menezes was a devoted priest, great preacher, voracious reader and a prolific writer. He had a wonderful memory power and known as a 'Walking Bible'. He was very kind hearted and always extended his helping hand to the needy. As an Editor of Raknno, he encouraged and groomed quite a number of young and budding Konkani writers and poets as well. He wrote some books on the menace of alcohol (Amal Saunsarant)and on superstitions(Fitisponnachea Saunsarant) Tovoll Raat Zalli etc. In short , "through Word and Pen, he served God and men." We have lost a great priest, above all a good human being. Our heartfelt condolences to all the bereaved members of the Menezes family, his friends, dear and near ones. May his noble soul rest in heavenly bliss. Adieu Fr.Vincent. (Cyril/Sylvia Sequeira & Family)

Those were the days when we used to attend mass at the Bishop House , where Fr. Vincent Victor Menezes was the Rakhno editor. His homily (sermons ) where on day to day subjects and issues. There was a story , theme and inference in his homily. I used to wonder the way how he was starting , narrating and ending the homily . Many a times I had chance to interact with him during my holidays to Mangalore. He was a devoted priest, prolific writer and great human being . Losing such a lively priest is a big loss to our Mangalore dioceses ... May his soul rest in peace...
